The time investment to follow along the story of this game is quite steep, but it is pretty worthwhile, particularly Endwalker. That being said, gameplay-wise I find myself outgrowing this game, because the overarching trend of the gameplay seems to be towards getting simpler and more streamlined, with classes having less unique traits between them. There aren't a lot of jobs left in the game I really like playing all that much, but I still had a great time with it overall. It's still pretty good and I can't wait for the next story patch.
